This Spanish-language terror story concerns a wedding at a remote English mansion near Peterhead that turns grotesque when the lights extinguish during the ceremony. Bridegroom Peter Harrison screams; when lights restore, his eyes have been gouged out by a silver fork—the only weapon found. The priest leaves to summon help but a lightning strike destroys the bridge, trapping the guests: the bride Bárbara Mayne, her sister Susan, three couples (Dr. Lloyd and his mother, Rock Kane and his sister Alice, Edward Durni and his aunt Mrs. Clayton), plus servants Joe and Cameron. Harrison claims to know his attacker's identity and threatens revenge. Dr. Lloyd insists the group relocate to a nearby pavilion across dangerous marshland, warning that either the blinded man or the unknown assailant poses mortal danger. The narrative establishes that one guest committed the mutilation. Bárbara reveals to Susan her former life as a London club hostess before meeting Harrison, hinting at complicated backstory among the trapped party.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
